***Help Urgent***

[C and Lore 3]

Our petition was approved April 4th, and the NVC notified us they sent out our petition to Argentina in a letter dated April 22nd. We still havent received the packet to send back to the embassy. I called the embassy through the 800 number and the international number, they refused to forward our calls to persons who could help. I called the NVC they refused to look into it. This was all before the second week in June. I emailed the embassy again June 30th to see if we could download the forms they require from their website, also ignored. I emailed my house representative, no one contacted me.

Fastforward to today. I found out that some overpaid immigration or State department official didnt correctly input her address. They left off her unit number and the postal code. Now the Visa office at the State department says, well if they dont contact you (embassy) then contact your congressperson. Well I did that before today and they didnt contact me back.

So my question of help is, does anyone here have any suggestions or been in this situation. I have no idea of what else to do. All else I can think to do is to just send the downloaded forms from the embassy website even though they havent been requested yet. Any suggestions, or contacts in the State department that could help.

Print them and follow instructions from the website then send it off.

This happens in Canada a lot. Embassy does not answer and doesn't send a packet 3 or sends one and it never arrives.

Also you can call DOS and ask them if the embassy has sent out packet 3 yet. That way you at least know they sent it even if it went to the wrong / incomplete address.

I didn't know that the misinformation line gave out employee salaries. Very interesting.

Your thought is correct. Use the packet 3 and 4 info from the embassy website to proceed. It's the same information that your fiancee would be sent through the mail. That ought to get you two back on track.

Your case is at the embassy, correct? You don't have to wait for the packet from the embassy, the forms are here http://travel.state.gov/visa/forms/forms_1342.html Your embassy info are on the link on the top of the page. You can change your fiances address right on the forms. You also need to schedule an appointment with one of the listed doctors, which are also on the embassy info link on the top of the page. Good luck!

well the overpaid line is more about venting and government jobs are usually good. anyway, if you cant type the information provided then you are overpaid since you're not doing your job.

anyway, on subject it seems like everyone's solution is the same as mine. i figured at worse they'd say no but at the end of the day at least they would have to communicate with us at either A: the corrected address or B: by phone to say we have to use their stuff. or either they would take the papers we sent.

as far as the doctors appt. she's going to schedule it when she knows about the interview. She will go to have the doctors appt 3 days before the interview. reason being is she's not from Buenos Aires. She is from the NW, which is 17 hours away. It'd be like driving Cleveland to Miami just for the exam and coming back. Its expensive to do as well. They say you get the results in 24 hours, so if she does this, she'll get them the day before the interview.

I'm just so frustrated. I knew back in early June something was wrong. I tried telling the Department of State Visa Office this back then that something has to be wrong. But all she could be bothered to do was slander a country she knows nothing about. They've been passing the buck for a month now, and now my patience is gone.

Anyway thanks everyone for your thoughts and input.

One other question. She got the police certificates from all of the provinces she's lived in. Does she need some sort of national certificate?

As long as she is a legal resident there she can interview there, so I don't know whatever is required there to show she is legal maybe a passport. She should have a passport that is good for at least 6 months for travel to the US. About the medical, make sure you do it eary enough before the interview to have the results ready at the interview.

thanks but i think my question was misunderstood. she is an Argentine national with actually brand new passport (had to renew last summer) my question is referring to the police certificates. is there some sort of national police certificate she will need?

She does not need a "national police certificate"...

Her "Certificado de Antecedentes Penales" can be issued wherever she lives as long as she asks for it to be issued specifically stating “el artículo 51 del Código Penal”.

OP - Each country is different so check with the Consulate for specific record checks.

Call the DOS and if they have sent packet then you can download and submit packet 3 forms. If Consulate hasn't sent packet then you have to wait.

Good luck!

thanks yllen. i'll make sure she gets that

thanks jac....however its a bit difficult as consulate refuses to answer any email, and they wont transfer calls to appropriate person if you call. the person stonewalls you, so unless you have a specific consular officer you request, they wont transfer. i know they sent packet however some (censored language) did not enter all of the address. which they cant blame on me, because i typed the forms to make sure they could be read.

C and Lore, when trying to contact the US Embassy in Argentina you have to send the email to: BuenosAires-IV@state.gov and make sure to include your case number on the email subject to get an answer.
